panion character to Little Lord Fauntle-
roy' in the heroine of her story, Sara
Crewe: or, What Happened at Miss Minch-
ms, and, as in the earlier story, the authors
conceptions are aided in their setting forth
by the work of the illustrator, Mr.. r. B.

thirty-five poems, stories, sketches, papers
